Abstract

The growth of social media encourages community-based destination managers to transform information about local potential into attractive and accessible digital messages. This study analyzes Pokdarwis Rama Agung’s TikTok content in transforming local potential into tourist attraction. A descriptive qualitative approach was applied using Potter’s media literacy framework, which consists of access, analysis, evaluation, and creation. Data were collected through account observation, interviews with the head of Pokdarwis, the account manager, and a documentation member, as well as document review. The findings show that TikTok has served as an initial publication space for the Interreligious Harmony Monument, houses of worship, Balinese cultural ornaments, traditional activities, and village scenery. In terms of access, managers understand basic features but do not yet maintain a consistent posting schedule. In analysis, local potential is selected according to its visual, social, and cultural strengths. In evaluation, views, likes, comments, shares, and saves are noticed, although they are not systematically recorded. In creation, short videos use music, text, captions, and hashtags, but most remain documentary and lack a strong storyline. The study confirms that harmony, tolerance, and culture are the main destination identities capable of differentiating Rama Agung Village from other destinations. Stronger content planning, narrative development, performance evaluation, task distribution, and posting consistency are required so that TikTok can develop from a documentation channel into a sustainable destination promotion medium

Abstract

This study examines visual infrastructure narratives as a public relations strategy for building a positive institutional image through the Instagram account managed by the Public Relations division of the Bengkulu City Public Works and Spatial Planning Agency (DPUPR). The research focuses on how Instagram is utilized as a digital communication platform to deliver transparent information about infrastructure development and strengthen public trust. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, with data collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving public relations personnel responsible for managing social media communication. The findings reveal that visual narratives are implemented through development progress documentation, field activity photographs, and before-and-after videos of road, bridge, and drainage projects, which function as evidence-based communication of institutional performance. Public Relations activities reflect four main professional roles: expert prescriber, communication facilitator, problem-solving facilitator, and communication technician. Instagram serves as a communication bridge that translates technical infrastructure information into visual messages easily understood by the public. In addition, responsive information delivery, including public service announcements such as temporary road closures, supports transparent and interactive communication. The study concludes that consistent visual storytelling emphasizing real development outcomes and community benefits effectively contributes to strengthening a positive institutional image and fostering closer relationships between government institutions and the public.

Abstract

Abstrak. UMKM di Bengkulu Tengah Provinsi Bengkulu belum memanfaatkan media sosial dengan baik, dimana mereka memasarkan produk secara online namun kurang dilirik atau mendapat respon dari khalayak dikarenakan promosi yang disampaikan kurang kreatif dan persuasif. Hal ini tentu saja berdampak pada omset penjualan mereka. Oleh sebab itu, pemberdayaan dan dukungan terhadap UMKM tersebut sangat diperlukan. Sektor UMKM memiliki peran penting dalam mendukung pembangunan ekonomi di Indonesia, dimana secara langsung berkontribusi dalam mengangkat perekonomian rakyat (Yudilestari, 2024). Metode yang dilakukan dalam kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini menggunakan metode ceramah dan diskusi. Pelaksanaan kegiatan diawali dengan pemberian materi tentang teknik komunikasi persuasif dan konten kreatif, selanjutnya dilakukan pendampingan langsung pembuatan konten melalui media sosial masing-masing peserta. Selama kegiatan berlangsung dari sesi penyampaian materi hingga kegiatan diskusi dan praktek langsung, terlihat antusiasme para peserta mengikuti kegiatan ini sangat tinggi, dapat dilihat dari banyaknya pertanyaan dari peserta diakhir pemaparan tiap narasumber serta peserta dapat memahami dan mengaplikasikan ilmu yang diberikan dengan baik. Beberapa peserta telah mampu menghasilkan karya yang langsung mereka posting. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini diharapkan dapat menjadi langkah antisipatif dalam membantu UMKM di Kabupaten Bengkulu Tengah mengembangkan usahanya.Abstract.

Abstract

This study examines the role of TikTok in shaping students' attitudes and character at SMP Negeri 19 Seluma. A descriptive qualitative approach was used through observation, interviews, and documentation. The informants consisted of the principal, homeroom teacher, civic education teacher, five disciplined students, and five less disciplined students. The analysis applies Rosenberg and Hovland's attitude formation theory, covering cognitive, affective, and conative components. The findings show that TikTok has positive roles, such as providing new knowledge, educational information, creativity, motivation, and confidence. However, excessive use also creates negative roles, including reduced learning focus, sleepiness in class, over-following trends, and imitation of language, clothing, and behavior from viral content. The study emphasizes the need for supervision from schools and parents so that students can use TikTok wisely, selectively, and in line with educational character values.

Abstract

This study examines the lifestyle of students receiving the Indonesia Smart Card (KIP) Scholarship for Higher Education in the Communication Science Study Program at Universitas Dehasen Bengkulu. The problem addressed is how scholarship recipients construct daily lifestyles within a campus environment that contains diverse economic backgrounds, peer interactions, digital media exposure, and social expectations. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method with the Activity, Interest, and Opinion (AIO) lifestyle framework. Data were collected through interviews, observation, and documentation involving five active KIP Kuliah recipients. The findings show that the students generally practice simple, productive, and adaptive lifestyles. In the activity dimension, students prioritize lectures, assignments, organizations, part-time work, and the use of smartphones for academic and communication purposes. In the interest dimension, they show strong interest in education, technology, social media, sports, organizations, and self-development. In the opinion dimension, they view education as the main priority and see KIP Kuliah as an opportunity to improve future living standards. Although some tendencies toward leisure activities, culinary consumption, and premium smartphone use appear, the dominant pattern remains responsible and selective. The study concludes that KIP Kuliah recipients negotiate lifestyle through internal factors such as motivation, self-awareness, financial control, and priority setting, as well as external factors such as family economy, peer environment, campus culture, technology, social media, and academic demands.
